Fox News is quite the misogynistic corporation. Seriously, it's not like the men are dressed in revealing outfits. They all wear suits and ties. It's on the women who are forced to wear low cut tops, short billowing skirts, and other revealing attire.

Fox News doesn't think it's women are to be taken seriously. If they did, they'd have the same style of attire as the men - either all suits, or the men would be scantily clad as well.

There is no trend. Fox has always featured attractive hosts, both male and female, because viewers like that and it improves ratings. TV hosting is somewhere in the space between entertainment and pure information transfer. I don't think it harms the news because there are plenty of smart, attractive people in the world to choose from. The Fox News women are as qualified as any, and more than most. All the networks want the package of smarts and attractiveness. Fox is just better at it than the others.
